Questions people ask about ARS contracts
How do I find ARS contract opportunities?
Agricultural Research Service posts its solicitations on SAM.gov, and its smaller supply orders can also appear on DIBBS. This page lists the ones that are open right now, soonest deadline first, and leaves out award notices, sole source intents and notices that only existing contract holders can answer.
What does ARS buy?
Laboratory equipment and supplies, greenhouse and farm services, research support and repairs at research centers across the country.
Can a small business win a ARS contract?
Yes. Of the 2 open notices shown here, 1 are reserved for small business or for a certification such as 8(a), HUBZone, WOSB or SDVOSB. You need an active SAM.gov registration and a Unique Entity ID before you can be awarded anything.
What should I know before bidding on ARS work?
Purchases are frequent and small, which favors a supplier who answers fast with a clear quote. Each research location buys for itself, so build a relationship with the ones near you.
